where the ui merges the plots just as we want and I was wondering if there is some simple way to do it in the case of all plots.
we can do it for scalars (this is trivial)
We can merge specific plots when they are simple, I think basic histograms.
But for any generic plots we fear the merge will just fail, and this is why it defaults to side by side.
how can I combine two plots in the ui as you mentioned?
The easiest solution is to use, "report_scatter2d", these are specific plot reporting that will be merged when compared

Hi CurvedHedgehog15
Yes you are correct, plots are displayed side-by-side in the ui. The reason is that since they are very generic, it is very challenging to actually be able to merge / overlay two arbitrary plots.
I can see two options
- To allow user to combine two plots in the ui (this way the responsibility is on the user to understand this is possible
- Maybe add programmatic interface to more easily access the raw data?
Wdyt?
Hi AgitatedDove14 , thank you for your response
Yes, firstly I was thinking about the option 2, but then I saw one case in our experiments where the ui merges the plots just as we want and I was wondering if there is some simple way to do it in the case of all plots. In my opinion, for our use case option 1 is also fine - how can I combine two plots in the ui as you mentioned?
AgitatedDove14 Thank you very much for your advice and explanation.
